Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?

We use Charter "high speed" (I think we all are victims of buying this so called high speed) 10 Mbps internet...fairly easy to play MW2 on pc. But I'm about to xbox live and my step dad is concerned that even being logged into xbox will slow his internet...I don't even think if I was to be hosting a MW2 match it would even have an effect. Apparently he's read in forums that xbox live consumes a lot of bandwidth constantly which I know it doesn't because it all varies on what you are doing. I just want to confirm that this is rightWill bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
If you're not using the computer it won't cause any lag on the Xbox360. It just won't because you're not using bandwidth from the internet connection. I often have 4 computers going from my sisters and only get a little lag so go from there. I have a ADSL account for broadband and the upload is slow but no bottlenecks if ever.Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
If it is just sitting there logged on doing nothing it will take nearly none, if you are playing a game it will take same as if you were on a computer. Either way it will not effect the rest of your network unless you have the absolute worse internet service provider ever.Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
Yes, and it works the other way too.

Internet on computer = lag on X-box live.
